2.3.2-Skill ranking and its importanceIn cabal skill leveling start from novice[lowest rank] to transcender[highest rank]
In order of rank from lowest to highest is
Novice->Apprentice->Regular->Expert->Advance Expert->Master->Advance Master->Grand Master->Completer->Transcender
It is recommended to make both sword and magic rank as high as you can
yes, BOTH! why is that so? even when if someone say magic is not as important,you need to rank up your magic to unlock those buff skill
and as well obtain bonus from leveling your sword/magic skill rank
In the end you get the following stat boost:
+96 STR, +192 DEX, +96 INT, +810 HP, +810 MP
These bonus you get from ranking up is automatic added to your state
How does Skill ranking works and how do you even get skill point?
*If your skill slot have little space,its advisable to unlearn some lower level skill or rank up your skill to get more skill slot
By using calculation,and using
Rank,I can determine each rank how many you need to rank up
The below is for FB sword and magic only,since sword and magic have equal level
Novice/16
Apprentice/32
Regular/48
Expert/64
A.Expert/80
Master/96
A.Master/112
G.Master/128
Completer/144
Transcender/160
Total Skill point[sword and magic each] : 880!*NOTE*A skill do not used only 1 skill point per lvl,if you up a skill to above lvl 9,it will used 2-5 skill point just for 1 lvl for that skill
Lvl 1-9 : used 1 skill point per lvl
Lvl 10-12 : used 2 skill point per lvl
Lvl 13-15 : used 3 skill point per lvl
Lvl 16-18 : used 5 skill point per lvl
Lvl 19-20 : used 10 skill point per lvl
So if you count,a skill require around 58 skill point to be max thats why you have so much skill point at begin with
And by the way,Skill is not free, you actually have to buy your skill from npc
higher the rank of the skill,the higher it cost,but some skill can be obtain from class up quest like aura and battle mode
and also you could reset skill point by paying,higher the skill rank and lvl,the more expensive it is to reset
cost of each skill can be found at bottom of the guide
2.3.3-Aura and Battle modeAura and Battle mode is a skill which allow the user to power up within a short peroid of time
*NOTE* some skill could not be used in battle mode
A battle aura is basically a temporary super buff.
All of your stats are boosted for a period of time to help you kill more effectively.
Auras have different elements based on how you answer the series of questions they ask you. So in a sense,
your preferences should end you up with your favorite element.
Element available is Earth,Fire,Wind,Water,Ice and Lighting
*NOTE*Please note that the elements are PURELY GRAPHICAL.
The element you choose does not affect the stats you get and any advantages over other elements
Before going on,here is some range magic skill you can use
Novice rank[Arrow]Magic Arrow
Terra Arrow
Aqua Arrow
Wind Arrow
Fire Arrow
Ice Arrow
Lightning Arrow
Apprentice rank[Blast]Magic Blast
Terra Blast
Aqua Blast
Wind Blast
Fire Blast
Ice Blast

Terra Lance
Aqua Lance
Wind Lance
Fire Lance
Freezing Lance
Lightning Lance
Expert rank[Cannon]Magic Cannon
Terra Cannon
Aqua Cannon
Wind Cannon
Fire Cannon
Crystal Cannon
Lighting Cannon
These skill listed above could be used for low lvl training or magic skilling
Arrow and Blast: Single target attack[use arrow on high hp mob to skill or pratice combo.so that u do no keep switching]
Best DPS: Earth>Fire>Aqua>Ice>others (applies to both lances/cannons)
Lances[knockdown]: shorter cast time, better DPS, smaller AoE[hit all the monster infront of the target you aimed]
Cannons[knockback]: longer cast time, worse DPS, bigger AoE[hit all the monster around the target
*NOTE*lightning seem to the the lousiest range magic there is,due to its slow casting and DPS
Battle mode 1[obtain at lvl30 class up quest]Force Enchanter[usage 1 SP bar]- Enchant your weapon with force to increase your abilities.
-How to use this battle mode-
This mode allow user to cast buff skill onto the user with magic attacking skill[listed above] for short period of time
meaning if the user cast aqua cannon,it will change into a buff
each element attack will be transform into a buff base on the element
List of element buff
Enchantment Attack- Magic, Ice, Fire, Lightning
Attack and Defense Rate- Wind
Defense Up- Earth
Hp,Mp,Hp recovery- WaterAs you can see, I listed magic, ice, fire and lightning together, because they are all attack enchanting buffs and cannot be stacked.
Choose lightning for the highest Atk buff
So basically you can have 4 buffs at 1 time, which is the same as your normal magic buffs,but stronger
*It seem that when force enchanter is casted,all your 'range magic skill' will be automatic casted along with it
Battle mode 2[obtain at level 50 class up quest]Blade Shooter[usage 1 SP bar]- Transform your orb into an astral cannon.This is one of the few battle mode IIs that allow you to use your normal skills.
-How to use this battle mode-
This mode allow user to use cannon attack by absorbing 'energy' each time you use a sword skill[not magic skill]
And after being 'charge up' you could use a MAGIC attack skill,eg Stone cannon
when you use this skill when battle mode 2 is up,the skill power is being increased depending how long you 'charge' it
meaning the more sword skill you used,the stronger the cannon get
From my studies,BM2 cannon work this way:
lvl 1 : blue cannon : not charged at all,could not fire any shot
lvl 2 : yellow cannon : a weak charged cannon
lvl 3 : orange cannon : a med charged cannon
lvl 4 : red cannon : fully chargedusing 1 sword skill will increase the power of the cannon by 1 lvl [i make up the lvl for you to understand better]
*NOTE* BM2 cannon shot can pierce multipe target if you aim well
the cannon shot effect depend on what element magic you use,but not sure for dmg
Bonus Skill of Battle mode 2[obtain along with Battle mode 2]Prismatic Blade Cannon- this skill can be casted at battle mode 2 ONLY
This skill is one of the best AOE dmg skill a FB can get at lvl 50,which at lvl 50 it self,it could 1 hit KO moscutter queen,lug queen and many dungeon monster,to make your quest finish faster
[ON BM1 for super power buff,BM2 for super AOE attack]2.4-FB's available skill
